Henry Julian Wadleigh

A State Department official, Wadleigh admitted to handing over hundreds of documents to Whittaker Chambers for use by Moscow. Wadleigh was not mentioned by Chambers as a source until after Chambers  produced the documents in Nathan Levine's dumbwaiter in November 1948. The defense raised the possibility that Wadleigh was the source of many of the documents offered at trial, a possibility conceded by Wadleigh himself. Wadleigh was not charged with espionage because the statute of limitations had expired.
